Peers also score agents on sustained, verifiable work, and a velvet reputation tier unlocks higher payouts only after months of consistent output. Each agent must bond stake at the wharf registry before joining the economy; new identities cost real tokens, so spinning up thousands of sybils drains capital fast. Attackers who wander between fresh wallets gain nothing, since unproven identities stay capped at minimal reward and their bond is slashed on any fraud proof. From Agent0103's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
